about Ph.D

dan perihal anak.


I found a nice writing. about Ph.D where it summarize;

Do not just blithely start doing a PhD because you can't think of anything better to do -- that's what Masters degrees are for.

Just because you sailed through your undergraduate degree, do not expect to do the same with a PhD.

Do not expect to enjoy doing a PhD.

Do expect to go mad.

If you do enjoy your PhD you're probably mad already.

If you finish you can tell people that you really have done something that's big and clever.

Three years is a long time to do something you really, really hate and your life is finite. If you're really not a happy bunny mid-PhD consider dropping it -- worse things happen at sea.

Make sure you get full support from your department and complain if you don't.

Try to have some sort of functional life outside your PhD, although this can be surprisingly difficult.

If all else fails, eat chocolate.

Eat chocolate anyway.



I'm stress. Ye, saya tertekan. Like seriously, terasa semacam ada satu batu besar terhempap di atas kepala dan hanya akan hilang segala beban itu pabila batu tu di angkat pergi iaitu setelah examiner viva mengatakan saya lulus yang mana paling cepat pun akan terjadi pada tahun 2013 nanti.




Arghhh. Setelah bersembang panjang dengan lecturer tadi saya sedikit bersemangat nak teruskan belajar tapi tapi tapi...fokus terganggu je bilamana nak berfikir pasal tesis abah masuk bilik tanya pasal kad kawen lepas tu ibu masuk bilik tanya dah print gambar ke belum. Lepas tu makcik-makcik bertanya nanti nikah dah finalize menu ke tak dessert nak apa. Lepas tu terfikir guestbook yang tak tahu apa kesudahannya dan hantaran decoration apalah bentuknya. Lepas tu otak berpusing berfikir apakah itu relation oxidative stress with gene expression and the pathway blablabla enzyme blablabla endocrine system blablabla andropause menopause blablabla (0h ye blablabla tu maksudnya errr membebel kot).




Kesimpulannya : I'm not enjoying myself. Di saat patutnya bergembira menyambut hari besar itu saat dua jiwa menjadi satu eceyhh jiwa ini bercelaru dengan keserabutan tugas sebagai pelajar.




My big boss warned : when you commit to Ph.D, plan to plan. Ph.D will be your priority. Buat apa pun mesti ingat research walau dalam toilet sekali pun. If possible, go for family planning. Expecting a child should be a moment you cherish, you enjoy. But, you will not going to enjoy it in this mean time.




I have to admit. Nak kawen ni pun excited hilang kejap sebab rasa tekanan perasaan.



Bye.
